hahaha... yeah, it's not for the weaker systems. Infact, when you first install Vista, it looks like a skinned version of XP for the most part, even on my system.
And does it ask you to change it or run anything? Nope.
So what you have to do is track down the "Windows Experience Index" thingy which does a thorough test of your system and THEN it will throw in the transparencies and 3D's and other little fancy things depending on how well your system stacks up.
At first I was like "WTF? This doesn't look THAT different." until I found that and ran it. Now everything is much more slick.
But like XP, you can turn on and off each of the effects, which will mean better performance.
